The following instructions apply only to Kraus-recommended sink mounting specification A and B.
1.
Position undermount sink template on countertop, centered within the sink base cabinet unit. Make sure to provide
adequate clearance from the countertop backsplash, with room for mounting faucet and fittings behind the sink.
Avoid any potential interference with cabinet bracing.
2.
Countertop cut-out may be prepared by using either the paper template included within the sink carton,
or referencing the .dxf file found on www.kraususa.com
2A. Trace a line around the paper template. Cut along the inside of this line to create opening in countertop.
2B. Select the dxf file for the Kraus model purchased. CNC machine the countertop cut-out based on this dxf file.
3.
Locate and drill the sink fastener mounting holes (following the countertop manufacturer’s instructions).
Type of fasteners should be recommended by countertop supplier.
4.
Loosely fasten sink mounting clips to countertop.
5.
Apply a bead of silicone caulking (not included) evenly along the sink flange.
6.
Position and align sink to the countertop. Tighten fasteners until sink mounting clips are snug against the sink flange.
7.
Check alignment of sink to cut-out opening, and adjust if necessary. Tighten fasteners evenly. DO NOT overtighten.
8.
Wipe up and remove any excess silicone from the countertop cut-out edge.
